Seniors pls help... How many work permit renewals can you get?

[Becksterd]

Hello

I was wondering how many times would immigration renew a work permit...

I have worked with 1 employer for 2 yrs and had 3 work permits with them after that I got another job and a 1 work permit for 2 yrs and that will be expiring in Jan 2011... do you think I will be able to renew it if I got a positive LMO?... I read somewhere that foreign workers are only allowed to stay for a certain number of yrs on work permit... is this true?

Need to know as my application for PR is currently in Buffalo and I don't know if I should renew work permit or change to visitor status...

I read somewhere in the foruns that they will renew your WP as many times as needed considering your PR application status.

Good luck

how will they know about my pr status... do I have to mention it to them that I am waiting for a reply from Buffalo or will they know?
